Biomedical Engineering

I’m a PhD student advised by Chris Rozell at Georgia Tech, developing advanced closed-loop optogenetic control techniques for neuroscience. Specifically, I am applying optimal, model-based control to precisely perturb population dynamics.

I’m fascinated by the applications of biological computational principles for next-generation AI/ML technologies. And vice-versa: how we can apply modern ML to neurotech/neuroscience, especially for building life- and time-saving brain-computer interfaces. I am looking for an industry research scientist role post-graduation.
